process.binding is not supported

[renehauck]

Context

• node version: v6.9.5
• joi version: ^10.4.1
• environment : node
• used with : hapi, nextjs, typescript
• any other relevant information: server-side rendering

What are you trying to achieve or the steps to reproduce ?

I have this function:

this.server.route({
            method: "POST",
            path: Routes.Login,
                config: {
                   validate: {
                       payload: {
                           email: Joi.string().email().required(),
                           password: Joi.string().min(5).max(100).required(),
                       }
                   },
               },
            handler: (request, reply) => {
               ...
            }
        })

Which result you had ?

when I import "joi" like this:

import * as joi from 'joi'
or
import joi from 'joi'
or
const joi = require('joi');

I get this error:

process.binding is not supported

it works when I write the validation like this:

...
 config: {
                validate: {
                    payload: {
                        email: require('joi').string().email().required(),
                        password: require('joi').string().min(5).max(100).required()
                    }
                },
            },
...

Is this a bug, or what am I doing wrong?

Thank you 😃

You are getting this error in the browser? If so facebook/create-react-app#815 might have some clues

[renehauck]

I have install "url" and try some combinations, but no success 😞

[Marsup]

I don't have any solution to that, but what does webpack have to do with building a hapi server-side app ? Can't you get rid of it for this part ?

[renehauck]

Sorry for the late reply, but finally I have found the problem.

@Marsup you were right.
In my code, I use the same variable, which contains the route names,
on server and client side.
For this reason, Webpack also tries to put parts of the server into a bundle.
Also, unfortunately Joi.

sorry it was my fault 😞
